This Video Of The World’s Largest Shark Will Make You Never Want to Swim Again
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.
It looks like Jaws may have finally met his match. Shark researcher Mauricio Hoyos Padilla recently posted a new video of Deep Blue, the 20-foot long female shark known as the “biggest shark ever filmed,” swimming around a research cage near Guadalupe Island off the coast of Mexico. Needless to say, the video is as terrifying as it is fascinating:

Not only is Deep Blue massive and old — about 50 years of age, according to Padilla — but also pregnant, which means the Gulf of Mexico will likely be home to a swarm of potentially-massive sharks for years to come. Mother of God.
Here’s the first video of Blue Padilla posted back in June:
